Book Trailers Here is an example of a great book trailer! Take a look at it before you begin writing your review.

Steps to making a Book Trailer:

1. Choose the right book. It should be one that you have really enjoyed and one that you would like other students to read.
2. Write your review. It should be about 10-15 sentences long. Tell us something about the book, but remember, don't give away the ending. If you like, click here for a Book Review form .
